Omega General Help / Re: 2.2 Auto Box Kickdown Problem

« on: 28 October 2014, 19:10:07 »

thanks for your replies people. The cam sensor was from a main dealer costing £85. Before this Omega I had the earlier model on a T plate, that one did have a physical kick down switch under the pedal where as this one just has a pedal stopper, its all electronic so that idea's out the window. An earlier post suggests the new clean oil is the problem as the old oil would of had metal filings in making the oil thicker. It all goes through the filter and what isn't caught there would be caught by the sump magnet right?- so not so sure on that one.

many thanks for your words of wisdom but there has to be another way 

Ive recently changed the cam sensor with a genuine GM part so that shouldn't be causing my grief

Omega General Help / 2.2 Auto Box Kickdown Problem

« on: 26 October 2014, 13:44:19 »

Hi all,

I've had my trusty Omega for a few years now. Recently changed the auto box oil and filter but the kicdown just doesn't seem the same now. Basically, the kick down seems to work fine one minute but then refuses to drop whatsoever the next. It normally refuses to drop at mid range speeds, eg 50ish. Very strange as it pulls off from a stop like a missile changing gears lovely but often refuses to kick down when joining motorways etc

I used to love the kick down on this motor! I've re-checked auto box oil level with engine running etc. It did take a bit more and it does seem to of improved the frequency of the kick down refusing to kick down but it still randomly plays up. Obviously as the oil is the only thing I have changed it would indicate that but Ive used DX 4 as required. Any ideas out there for me?
